But I also believing in giving credit where it’s due. And in the business world, these two ideas often seem to be at odds with one another.

For over a decade, Linux watchers have predicted that one day the open source operating system will become the dominant player — and yet that day never seems to arrive. Already, of course, Linux has a very healthy share of the server market and a growing place on the desktop, but it’s the rise of Internet-connected devices like smartphones, tablets and netbooks that may finally catapult Linux into the mainstream. Why? Because users of these convenient, portable devices don’t really care what operating system they run, as long as their devices offer downloadable apps and fast access.

Happy Programmer Day

September 13, 2010

The programmer day is celebrated on the 256th (0x100th) day of each year (September 13 during common years and on September 12 on leap years). The number 256 (28) was chosen because it is the number of distinct values that can be represented with an eight-bit byte

This particular day was proposed by Valentin Balt, an employee of Parallel Technologies web design company. As early as 2002 he tried to gather signatures for a petition to the Government of Russia to recognize the day as the official programmers’ day.On July 24, 2009, the Ministry of Mass Communications of Russia issued a draft of an executive order on a new professional holiday, Programmers’ Day. On September 11, 2009, President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev signed the decree.

So, this is a happy day for all the programmers, because in a non-official way, this day is celebrated around the world, so you can go and celebrate, or (the most real option) is to keep working on your desk and just change your msn title 😀

Here's a viable solution on my debian server:

dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 2710 /var/lib/nagios3/rw
dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios nagios 751 /var/lib/nagios3

And... et voilà!

The proper permissions have been set and everything should work as expected
